1826 Golspie Militia

PARISH OF GOLSPIE MILITIA LIST 1826Transcribed from the original document (SC9/87/101) by Malcolm Bangor-Jones

Notes: under 30 means less than 30 years of age while over 30 means just that.

Some have extra notes showing unfitness for service or ground of exemption claimed. This list also contained the names of a few English servants at Dunrobin with the note that they had gone to England. I have omitted them from this version of the original list.

It is a long list but alphabetically arranged.

All Mc and Mac names shown as Mac.

ALEXANDER

Mr William, architect, Golspie, over 30

Mr John, architect, Golspie, over 30 - paralytic

ANDERSON

Adam, blacksmith, Golspie, under 30 – certified by Dr Ross as unfit for service
